Great suggestions still going over your list @Mallard!

I have decided against Blue spots and will go with black caps or chinstrap if I can get info on them.

Also my decision on a trigger might be made for me I have a Linespot Trigger (Lineopunctatus Trigger) available to me and I do not think I can pass it up. Big thanks to The Coral Reef Shop for the offer ( https://twitter.com/CoralReefShop ) hrmmmmm awaiting pic's.

Here are pic's of the Linespot Trigger

Thoughts? I like him.. I am also told he likes to be pet...

Beautiful trigger. If your going Fowlr l would jump on the trigger.

This trigger is in a full blown reef right now and does not touch anything. In my understanding they are reef safe as they are a open water trigger and is why they are rare.. This is what i can find not many of this trigger fish are on the market.

I believe it's a planktivore like the Sargassum and Crosshatch. I love a pair of Crosshatch triggers. Those are also on my list but it's really long

No sand in the tank so to house the jawfish I cut 1/4" black acrylic topographical map on the bottom with tunnels and what not so they have spots to set up a home. The bottom layer of my tank is overall 3" thick in spots.

Here are some pics:







I have housed and bread jaw fish a few times now. You soon find out that if they have control on where they set up it will be over or on top of your best coral or in the back of your tank where they will never be seen again

Here is a pic's of my breeding pair of black caps

Reminds me of playing warhammer in school lol

My Tank is ready...


It looks like tomorrow I get my first fish.. I am excited!

First fish

Second fish


I also like this guy....


Also 2 blood shrimp a few cleaner shrimp..

I will be working on the list tomorrow..

What do you guys think? It takes me a while to figure out what I want and what stocking order is best.

The only other fish and inverts that are 100% on the list after this order are the following

Jawfish (yellow head or black cap) breeder pair
Gem Tang
Schooling fish of some sort.

Sounds great and nice list so far! Definite fan of anthias, just be prepared to pamper them as they need lots of feedings of good food each day. Im glad you decided against the blue spot jaws as they are extremely delicate and would also suggest no jawfish at all without sand. They constantly move shells and debris and will be too stressed and likely jump... that's the other thing is they are jumpers for sure
